Code works in php 5 but not php 7, returning single element of array from class function

This was working but now on php7, recent install, returns

"Array ( [host] => 127.0.0.1 [username] => root [password] => [db] => scaryminds ) 127.0.0.1 "

Am after 127.0.0.1 btw.

Relavent code

   public static function get($path = null) {
        if($path) {
            $config = $GLOBALS['config'];
            $path = explode('/', $path);

            foreach($path as $bit) {
                if(isset($config[$bit])) {
                    $config = $config[$bit];
                }
                print_r($config);
                //return $config;
            }
        }
    }
Copy code

Calling routine line

echo Config::get('mysql/host'); // 127.0.0.1
Copy code

MySQL details stored in an array from an include file

$GLOBALS['config'] = array(
    'mysql' => array(
        'host' => '127.0.0.1',
        'username' => 'root',
        'password' => '',
        'db' => 'scaryminds'
    ),
Copy code

So I guess the question is why the line $config = $config[$bit] is returning the entire array with the additional $bit appended rather than just returning $bit.
